Joseph Kieninger (1872-1936), the founder of todays Kieninger Uhrenfabrik GmbH, was known for the high standards he lived by and expected from his personnel and products. In memory of this Kieninger today identifies its clock models with exceptional movement quality and case craftsmanship with the "JKA"- gear symbol. This symbol is the promise to our customers for high end, usually polished clock movements from our own shop, standard with second hand, automatic night time shut-off and some models with maintaining power; the very best in case craftsmanship, for wooden cases with fine lacquer or hand rubbed finish and usually beveled glasses; carefully selected, fine accessories like genuine enamel dials, gold plated decorations and compensation pendulums.
